I think the 500 tap proc was added to vaniki around the same time the slow was nerfed from 50% to 35%.

this is purely from memory, but I do remember being pretty shocked when the proc was added. I think perhaps they were upset about people killing it with low numbers and just threw their "anti-small group solution" slapped onto it. aka: lifetap procs.

But taking into account everything about this mob (low max hit, doesnt quad, drops really good item) it certainly seems possible that it was always intended to have the proc. I wholeheartedly support this change.
